Philadelphia, PA- The Philadelphia University women's lacrosse team (3-3, 3-0 CACC) won their second straight contest in a 17-8 overpowering of the Holy Family University Tigers (2-3, 2-1 CACC) on Saturday afternoon at Ravenhill Field.

PhilaU sophomore midfielder Caribeth Shappell (Lancaster, PA/ Cocalico) led all scorers with seven points (5G, 2A). 

The Lady Rams jumped right into action, scoring 10 straight goals in the first 23 minutes-led by Shappell's first three scores.

HFU's Katherine Podlinski put the Tigers on the board 10-1 at 5:38 remaining in the first stanza.  Podlinski led her squad with three points on the day.

PhilaU led 13-2 at the half.

Although HFU outscored the Lady Rams 6-4 in the second half, it didn't matter as PhilaU had enough cushioning, helped by junior attacker Taylor Boyle (Wilton, CT/ Wilton) who notched one goal in the half and three on the day.

PhilaU senior midfielder Kathleen Maurer (Rochester, NY/ Our Lady of Mercy) added three points for the Lady Rams in the contest. 

In goal, PhilaU senior keeper Kat Sullivan (Mt. Laurel, NJ/ Lenape) made nine stops in 60 minutes, while HFU's Melissa Jenkins recorded six saves for the Tigers.
